QSIS 385: Systems Architecture |
| This course is a detailed survey of current issues and technologies in business organizations. Covers technical aspects of operating systems, multi-media, Internet interface development, telecommunications and other emergent technologies. |
Prerequisites: QSIS 283 and JMA 201, COSC 101 or COSC 150
Credits: 3

QSIS 387: Object Oriented Programming |
| This course provides an introduction to objectoriented programming and Web-based applications using Visual Basic.NET object-oriented language. VB.NET provides a forum for exploring
how object-oriented analysis and design concepts
are actually implemented in real-world business
applications. On the technical side, the course
covers the syntax of the VB language, focusing
on the logical development of VB applications,
program control, methods, classes, objects, arrays,
strings, characters, and, importantly, the graphical
user interface. On the managerial side, the course
explores the potential benefits and costs associated
with adopting an object-oriented application within
an organization. |

QSIS 481W: Systems Analysis and Design |
| This course is a detailed study of all phases of the system development life cycle (SDLC) with emphasis on structured analysis and design and object-oriented techniques. Case studies are used to generate detailed data flow diagrams. The issues involving conversion, testing, training, documenting, maintaining and managing a system are addressed. |

QSIS 482: Database Analysis and Design |
| This course provides the students with an introduction to the core concepts in data and information management. It is centered around the core skills of identifying organizational information requirements, modeling them using conceptual data modeling techniques, converting the conceptual data models into relational data models and verifying its structural characteristics with normalization techniques, and implementing and utilizing a relational database using both a personal database management system (DBMS) and an industrial-strength DBMS. The course will also include coverage of basic database administration tasks. In addition to developing database applications, the course helps the students understand how large-scale packaged systems are highly dependent on the use of DBMSs. Building on the transactional database understanding, the course also provides an introduction to data and information management technologies that provide decision support capabilities under the broad business intelligence umbrella. Additionally, the course provides an introduction to the standard database language, SQL, via presentation of the analysis and definition of query logic as it relates to relational tables. Using simple relational algebra students will understand the fundamental, logical basis for SQL and subsequent syntax. |

QSIS 483W: Systems Integration and Project Management |
| Students are expected to use tools, concepts and techniques learned in prior MIS courses, along with new skills in project management and administration, to develop a prototype information system for business decision making. Students will learn and apply both management and technical skills within the context of a team-based, semester-long development project, which will involve the analysis, design and implementation of an information system. |
Prerequisites: QSIS 385, QSIS 387, QSIS 481, QSIS 482 and QSIS 487
Credits: 3
|
QSIS 484: Networks and Telecommunications |
| This course develops an understanding of the importance of an open systems approach, such as OSI, and contrasts it with several proprietary ones, like IBM's SNA and TCP/IP. Using the OSI model as a base, students learn fundamentals of physical components, error detection and correction, line disciplines and network addressing. Special emphasis is placed on local area networks and connecting them to organizational networks. |
Prerequisites: QSIS 385, QSIS 387, QSIS 481 and QSIS 482.

|
QSIS 485: Systems Quality Assurance and Control |
| This course presents EDP auditing standards with a blend of systems concepts and applications. Techniques for testing computer programs, files, and processing systems are presented. Special attention is devoted to the particulars of auditing online, real-time systems. Case studies and generalized audit software are used to create a simulated audit environment. |
Prerequisites: QSIS 283
Credits: 3
|
QSIS 486: eBusiness Technologies |
| This course provides an introduction to the topic of electronic commerce through the search for successful e-business models, reflection and application of basic economic concepts underlying e-commerce, and practice at rigorously analyzing e-business strategies and their implementations. |
Prerequisites: QSIS 283 and JMA 201, COSC 101 or COSC 150
Credits: 3
|
QSIS 487: Advanced Application Development |
| This course provides a practical familiarity with
higher level technologies used for ccomplishing
the tasks found in systems analysis, design and development, specifically those centered on database technologies. This includes advanced database management systems (DBMS) creation and manipulation, particularly the integration of procedural languages and SQL. |
